Hello, and thanks for stopping by!
I'm a seasoned design leader with extensive experience in the tech industry, specializing in AI/ML solutions and no-code/low-code platforms. My expertise spans management, design strategy, and execution, fostering cross-functional collaboration through a Lean Startup approach.
Currently, I’m a Senior User Experience Designer at Amazon Web Services, focusing on Amazon Bedrock IDE. This innovative platform empowers non-technical users to develop and customize generative AI applications, simplifying complex workflows and enabling teams to harness the power of foundation models efficiently and responsibly. Previously, I contributed to SageMaker Canvas, a revolutionary no-code platform democratizing AI/ML technologies, and optimized data annotation tools for SageMaker Ground Truth. My work at AWS Machine Learning Solutions Lab drove the adoption of AI solutions for complex business problems across industries worldwide.
I’m proud to have developed tools now essential to multiple Forbes 500 organizations, and my career has spanned startups and multinational corporations. My focus lies in emerging technologies, new business exploration, and product development for consumer and enterprise markets, with experience in Mobile, Cloud, Web, Machine Learning, Augmented Reality, Computer Vision, and Voice Technology.
I excel at translating user research into actionable product requirements, designing intuitive architectures for complex systems, and creating user flows, wireframes, and visual designs. Proficient in design, prototyping, and agile tools, I integrate Lean UX and Lean Startup methodologies to deliver impactful, user-centric designs. With experience building and leading creative teams, I empower them to craft exceptional experiences, leveraging strategic thinking and responsibility to drive innovation and efficiency in AI/ML workflows.

Please note: My portfolio showcases work that that I've collaborated on that I am allowed to share. Many of my most recent projects and deliverables have either nondisclosure agreements or cannot be shared due to company policies. I hope you understand and know that I will respect and behave the same if I were to work with you. If you have any questions or comments, I will answer to the best of my ability given the circumstances. I do of course have references from past and current projects that can attest to my role, participation and creative input into the projects. I can be reached by email for more information.
